Dental Medical Billing Services
Endocrinology billing is deceptively complex. One wrong diabetes education code, one missed CGM billing opportunity, or one undercoded complex E/M visit—and thousands in revenue vanish.
Neo MD fixes that with endocrinology-certified coders, diabetes care management workflows, and aggressive revenue capture built for chronic disease management complexity.

Bleeding Revenue? (Most Are.)
Visible Revenue Bleed
Immediate Impact
Medical Necessity Claims Denied
CDT vs CPT code selection errors
Surgical Extraction Claims Rejected
Simple vs surgical documentation is insufficient

Invisible Losses
According to ADA and dental billing benchmarking data, practices lose 18%–25% of revenue due to:
CDT vs CPT Selection
Using dental codes for medical conditions
Surgical Extraction Coding
Wrong code for complexity level
Bone Graft Billing
Not billing separately with implants
Sleep Apnea Oral Devices
Medical insurance vs dental confusion
Periodontal Maintenance
Wrong frequency or code selection
TMJ Treatment Coding
Medical vs dental coverage gaps
Anesthesia for Dental
Not billing medical anesthesia codes
Frenectomy Medical Billing
Using dental codes for medical necessity
"You didn't train for years to fight with insurance companies. But right now, coding errors cost more than a dentist's salary."
- Industry Problem
Why General Medical Billing Companies Fail Dental Practices
Dental billing requires specialty expertise that general billers don’t have.
CDT vs CPT chaos
Can't determine when to use medical vs dental codes
Surgical extraction blindspot
Don't know simple vs surgical classification criteria
Bone graft confusion
Can't bill grafts separately from implant placement
Sleep apnea device miss
Don't bill oral appliances to medical insurance properly
Periodontal coding errors
Wrong maintenance vs therapy code selection
Medical necessity gaps
Can't document TMJ or medical dental conditions
Anesthesia underbilling
Don't capture medical anesthesia billing opportunities
Insurance type blindspot
Bill dental when medical insurance should pay
Result: 15%–22% denial rates, 45-60 day payment cycles, and constant staff time wasted on resubmissions.

Real Results: 3-Dentist General Practice with Implants (Arizona)
“We had no idea we could bill surgical extractions to medical insurance. Neo MD helped us implement medical-dental crossover billing, optimized our implant coding, and fixed our periodontal surgery claims. Revenue is up 29% without adding procedures.”

Our Process: Revenue Acceleration in 90 Days
We begin with a comprehensive analysis of your last 90 days of billing data, examining every surgical extraction for medical insurance billing potential, reviewing implant procedures for complete code capture, including bone grafting and sinus lifts, evaluating periodontal surgery coding for appropriate complexity, and assessing sedation services for proper billing. Our team identifies medical-dental crossover opportunities that were billed only to dental insurance, reviews coordination of benefits handling between dental and medical carriers, and examines narrative documentation quality for complex procedures. You receive a detailed report showing exactly where revenue is leaking with specific examples of missed medical billing and the dollar amount being lost to each type of coding error or missed opportunity.
Our implementation team coordinates a smooth transition with zero disruption to your patient schedule or clinical operations. We integrate with your dental practice management system (whether you're using Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, Curve, or any other platform), verify all dental and medical payer enrollments and credentialing, set up medical-dental crossover protocols with criteria for medical insurance billing, establish implant and periodontal coding workflows with complete procedure documentation requirements, and provide comprehensive training to your dentists, hygienists, and front office staff on CDT versus CPT code selection, medical necessity documentation, and coordination of benefits procedures. Most practices have their first clean claims submitted within 10-12 business days.
This is where you see immediate financial impact. Our certified dental coders begin identifying and billing appropriate surgical procedures to medical insurance carriers, implementing complete implant procedure coding, including all grafting and augmentation services, optimizing periodontal surgery claims with proper osseous surgery and regeneration coding, and capturing sedation and anesthesia services that were previously unbilled. We establish coordination of benefits protocols to maximize reimbursement from both dental and medical insurance when applicable. Within the first 30 days, most practices see noticeable cash flow improvement from medical crossover billing alone, and by day 90, our clients average a 24-29% revenue increase without adding patient appointments or performing more procedures.
Revenue optimization doesn't stop at 90 days. We provide bi-weekly updates on dental coding changes and payer policy modifications including CDT code updates and medical insurance coverage expansions, conduct monthly procedure coding reviews with your dentists to ensure continued documentation accuracy for implants, periodontal surgery, and oral surgery, perform quarterly compliance audits on medical-dental crossover billing and coordination of benefits processes, and deliver annual coding update training specific to dental and oral surgery services. As your practice adds new services like sleep apnea appliances, additional implant procedures, or advanced periodontal techniques, we proactively research coverage policies and implement billing protocols to ensure maximum reimbursement from day one.
Critical Compliance Issues We Handle
Dental practices face unique compliance challenges. We protect you:
CDT vs CPT code selection (when to use dental vs medical coding systems)
Medical-dental crossover documentation (medical necessity for surgical procedures)
Coordination of benefits accuracy (primary vs secondary insurance determination)
Implant procedure documentation (bone quality, grafting medical necessity)
Periodontal surgery medical necessity (probing depths, bone loss documentation)
Sedation monitoring requirements (time tracking, vital signs documentation)
Frequency limitations tracking (prophylaxis, periodontal maintenance, x-rays)
Narrative explanation standards (unusual or complex procedure justification)
Alternative benefit limitations (least expensive alternative treatment rules)
We keep you compliant, paid, and audit-ready.

The Cost of Waiting
If you’re a dental practice collecting $1.9M annually and losing 26% to billing inefficiencies:
$494,000
Per year in lost revenue
$2.47 million
Over 5 years
That’s hiring another dentist, opening a second location, investing in advanced equipment like CBCT or CAD/CAM systems, or expanding into comprehensive implant and surgical services.
Every month you wait costs you $41,200; you'll never recover.
The question isn’t “Should I switch?”
The question is: “How much more am I willing to lose?”
